Tesla Beats The Hellcat in a 1/4 Mile Race, How Can That Be?

It’s the pair that won’t stop racing, the rivalry continues with this 707 HP Challenger Hellcat taking on the Tesla Model S P100D for a heads up race at the StreetCarDrags.com event.
The Tesla Model S is a full-sized all-electric five-door, luxury liftback, produced by Tesla Inc., and introduced in June 2012.[10] It scored a perfect 5.0 NHTSA automobile safety rating, and, as of March 2017, the P100D variant holds the record for the fastest acceleration of any production vehicle with a NHRA rolling start to 60 mph in Motor Trend tests with 2.28 seconds,[11] although other independent tests have placed it behind the Porsche 918 Spyder.[12] The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official range for the 2017 Model S 100D, which is equipped with a 100 kWh (360 MJ) battery pack, is 335 miles (539 km), higher than any other electric car at the time.[13] The EPA rated the 2017 90D Model S’s energy consumption at 200.9 watt-hours per kilometer (32.33 kWh/100 mi or 20.09 kWh/100 km) for a combined fuel economy of 104 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (2.26 L/100 km or 125 mpg‑imp).[14]

In 2016, Tesla updated the design of the Model S to closely match that of the Model X. As of April 2017, the following versions are available: 75, 75D, 90D, 100D, and P100D. Owners of the earlier 70 and 70D Model S have the option to unlock the 75 kWh capacity via a software update, adding up to 19 miles (31 km) per charge.[15] The 60 and 60D Model S, reintroduced in June 2016, had a US$9,000 option to unlock the full 75 kWh capacity via a software update any time after purchase.[16] In August 2016, Tesla introduced the P100D as the new top-level model. The P100D model has a 100 kWh battery, a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 2.28 seconds with roll out, a 2.5 without and over 300 miles (485 km) of EPA rated range.[17]

The Model S became the first electric car to top the monthly new car sales ranking in any country, twice leading in Norway, in September and December 2013;[18][19][20][21] and also in Denmark in December 2015.[22] Global Model S sales passed the 150,000 unit milestone in November 2016, with the U.S. as the leading market with 57% of global sales.[23] Other leading country markets are Norway, China, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland.[24][25] (from Wiki)
